multipart/parallel Respons via LWP::UserAgent

gjetter has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I can't seem to find a Module that properly handles multipart/parallel boundary responses that are returned by my user agent. What I'm trying to do is parse out photos from a response object .

I've searched the net and read the documents for LWP::UserAgent and HTML::Response without success . Is this something I have to write my own handler for or is there a module in the LWP family that can be used to parse out the multi part photo data when they are sent in parallel fashion ?

I can write my own parsing engine if need be , but why re-invent the wheel, if one all ready exist.

thanks for any pointers or clues you can provide.
Greg

You should be able to use LWP et all, or HTTP::Body Read more... (3 kB) update: ok, so i ddg://"multipart/parallel" ddg://site:perlmonks.org "multipart/parallel" site:search.cpan.org "multipart/parallel" and I learn its http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1521, so look for RFC1521 on cpan, say MIME::Tools/mimeexplode or Email::MIME or MIME::Explode	[reply] [d/l]

I've used MIME::Parser to extract multipart images from email, and although I didn't actually need to do multipart/parallel specifically, I recall testing several emails that had multiple images attached; all of them could be easily extracted. -- I hate storms, but calms undermine my spirits. -- Bernard Moitessier, "The Long Way"	[reply]
